He Eludes His CaptOrs And Again
Taken ON French Territory.

PARIS, April pm. Schnaebeles, 6
special French commissary at Pagny-sur
Moselle depot, has been arrested by Ger
man officials. He had received seyera
letters from the German police commits
sioner at Ars-sur- Moselle, asking him to
come to that place and confer with him
regarding the frontier service. He final.
ly agreed to do so. While on his way
there he was roughly seized by the Ger
man police and was taken to Noveant
from which place he was sent to Metz.
The Meter Zeitung says M. Schnae
beles' arrest is due to his conn ection with
the anti German agitation conducted by
the Patriotic league, but the people OF
Pagny-ssr-Moselle declare this to be en-.
tirely untrue, and say that he had moth.
ing to do with the agitation.

beles to set up one of the posts which
mark the frontier line. The commissarv
advanced a few yards on German soil,
when he was seized by German police
agents who were disguised in gray
blouses. He knocked the agents down
and escaped back to French territory.
but was again seized, handcuffed and
sent to Metz, where he was placed in the
prison in which accused persons are con-
fin led before trial.
The warrant for the arrest emanated
from the public prosecutor at Metz, who
acted under instructions from Strasburg.
The French procurator at Nancy has
gone to Pagny to inquire into the affair.
Most of the Paris evening papers make
no comment on this inci2ent. The

from comment until Germany shall have
explained the occurrence.
